So I've just been informed that on the other website I frequent, I've made 14,269 forum posts and 4444 front-page comments....in a little over 3 years. I've seen people be on sites for almost 10 years with lower post counts than that. Please note, that the site in question is a Nintendo website, and I stopped caring about Nintendo 3 years ago. G-d knows how much I would've posted if more people talked about games I genuinely cared about. Really, if it weren't for their surprisingly good anime community, I probably would've left there long ago...and that's looking more tempting than ever.

At a metal forum I used to visit you got a custom title of 'I HAVE NO FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!' after you hit 15,000 posts.

What a coincidence, I feel like I'm on the verge of earning that title very soon...

On a more positive note, I've spent the last month drawing for the first time in years, and I'm actually pretty proud of what I've drawn. They're not great or anything, but I'm seeing significant improvement with each one. I keep pushing myself to try something new, or at least different, each time, and many of them have seemed almost too challenging, but ended up with acceptable results. I've only drawn 5 pictures so far, but I think as I get better, I'll start picking up the pace. I was thinking of doing one more pic to make as a profile picture, and start a DeviantArt page, but I'll be taking a 6-week course in Visual Storytelling for Comics in March, and I don't want anything distracting me from that. It's both my only chance to learn that kind of stuff (no colleges in my area currently offer any kind of comic-related class), and my chance to prove to myself and others that I am capable of handling course work now.

Speaking of which, I think I should start reading some web comics again soon, to possibly prepare myself for that course....or at least give me something different to do.
